Mo Wuji stared in shock at the disappearing fist and the pool of blood on the ground. He did not feel any joy at Ju Feiyang's death, only a strong sense of danger.
Ju Feiyang should have barely advanced to become a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. A Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner was a high and mighty existence in the Xing Han Empire. In the Formless Blade Sect, he was one of the top. But here, he was easily killed like an ant.
If he went to beg Granny Linglong, and if he made her unhappy with his words, would he be casually killed? Mo Wuji was not afraid of people trying to kill him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to retaliate against those who wanted to kill him.
Power, he needed power.
In the crowd far away, the Formless Blade Sect's sect head, Gu Ran, saw Ju Feiyang being killed with a single punch. His mouth twitched a few times, but he could only accept this outcome.
It was impossible to say that he did not feel a tinge of regret. If he had listened to Yan Qianyin and allowed Mo Wuji to participate in the Five Elements Pill Competition, the Formless Blade Sect might have gained more. But now, not only did they lose Ju Feiyang, whom they spent so much effort to nurture, they even offended Mo Wuji, a pill refiner with a bright future. Fortunately, Yan Qianyin also passed the second round, which made him feel a little more comforted.
The plaza quietened down. No one doubted Ju Feiyang's death. Ju Feiyang only had himself to blame for daring to question the Five Elements Pill Competition. Not many people were like Mo Wuji, who felt a deep sense of danger. Everyone felt that it was normal. Those who offended the dignity of the strong would naturally be killed. Moreover, Ju Feiyang offended the Five Elements Pill Competition and the Heaven Seeking Palace. Even if he was killed a hundred times, it would not be surprising.
The only person that people were envious of was Pill Refiner 632. A Channel Opening Stage Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner actually managed to enter the top 10 in the third round. Many people were already trying to find out which side Pill Refiner 632 was representing, and were prepared to exchange places.
Ju Feiyang's death was merely a small matter here. Pill Master Ming Ning continued, "The third round of the competition is pill refining. May all pill refiners stand in front of your pill furnace and choose the pill you wish to concoct."
The competition grounds had already been cleaned up, and 150 pill furnaces were placed there. Mo Wuji stood in front of Pill Furnace 632. He looked around and saw that Yan Qianyin was not far to his left.
Noticing Mo Wuji's gaze, Yan Qianyin smiled, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, your results in the first two rounds were not bad. For the third round, you just need to choose an ordinary Tier 3 Mortal Pill. That's because the top 100 are the cumulative results of the three rounds. "
"Many thanks senior apprentice sister Yan," Mo Wuji hurried to express his gratitude.
Now that Mo Wuji's cultivation level and spiritual will had advanced, Mo Wuji felt that he could even concoct a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill.
However, when he found out that he was in the top 10 of the first two rounds and that his points could be stacked, he gave up on concocting a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill.
He didn't need to chase after a good ranking. As long as he could enter the top 100 or above, that would be enough.
After waiting for all the pill refiners to stand properly, Pill Master Ming Ning's voice could be heard, "There are over ten different pill names in the pill furnace in front of all the pill refiners. May I invite everyone to open the pill furnace and choose a pill, then report your name to me for the pill formula and spiritual herbs."
Mo Wuji opened his pill furnace just like the other pill refiners. Within the pill furnace, there was indeed a piece of paper with over ten pill names written on it.
Picking up the paper, he saw that it was written: Tier 4 Mortal Pills: Earth Yuan Pill, Evolution Pill, Earthly Soul Protecting Pill, Thoughtless Fire Pill, Devil Cleansing Pill.
Of the five Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, if Mo Wuji had the confidence to concoct a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill, he would definitely choose the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill. Even though there was no introduction on the pill's usage, from the name of the pill, Mo Wuji could roughly guess that it should be used to recover spiritual will.
He had the Spirit Strengthening Pill, but it could only increase spiritual will, and was not very effective in recovering spiritual will. If he had the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill, then when his spiritual will was depleted, he could continue to use it. This would be extremely beneficial for both his battle and pill concoction.
However, Mo Wuji did not dare to take this risk. What he wanted was a placing to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and this involved Yan 'Er's life.
If he didn't choose this pill, then he wouldn't be able to see the pill formula. Mo Wuji shifted his gaze to the Tier 3 pill formulas, Mortality Transcending Pill, Void Solitary Pill, Spirit Accumulation Pill, Phaseless Pill, Bone Tempering Pill, Facial Restoration Pill …
Wait, Facial Restoration Pill, was this a pill used to recover one's appearance? If he had this pill, he could heal the scars on Yan 'Er's face.
So he chose the Facial Restoration Pill. Even though this pill was useless to Mo Wuji's cultivation, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to choose the Facial Restoration Pill.
Mo Wuji pressed a button by the side of the pill furnace, and a service disciple quickly came to his side, "Lord pill refiner, may I ask if you have chosen the pill you want to concoct?"
Mo Wuji nodded his head, pointed to the Facial Restoration Pill and said, "This is the Tier 3 Facial Restoration Pill."
"Alright, please wait for a moment, Lord pill refiner." The service disciple responded, and quickly brought a pile of herbs and a pill formula over to Mo Wuji.
Seeing that the other pill refiners were still choosing their pills, Mo Wuji did not rush to concoct the pill. Since he had already come this far, he did not want to be caught breaking the rules.
After half an incense's time, a loud and clear bell rang from the round altar. Pill Master Ming Ning also stood up, "Now that all the pill refiners have chosen their pills, and collected their pill formulas and herbs, the third round of the pill competition will now begin. The competition will last for two hours, and the reward will be 100 points."
Following Pill Master Ming Ning's announcement, all the pill refiners started to use the red firestones.
Everyone knew that concocting pills here and in their own pill room, even if they were concocting the same pill, would be much more difficult.
Firstly, there was no earth fire here, and the flames were provided by the red firestones. Secondly, the pill furnace here was not one that one would normally use, and one would not be used to using it. Thirdly, there were many disturbances here. There was no need to talk about the surrounding environment, even if a pill refiner failed, it would be a huge disturbance.
Mo Wuji opened the pill formula, and was immediately stunned. The first spiritual herb in the pill formula was the Golden Rockvine, and in terms of quality, it was indeed a Tier 3 spiritual herb. Even though this was his first time seeing the real thing, Mo Wuji was not unfamiliar with the Golden Rockvine. This was an extremely tough herb, and was not inferior to the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit at all.
The only difference was that one was a Tier 3 spiritual herb, while the other was a Tier 4 spiritual herb.
Mo Wuji looked helplessly at his hands. His injured hands had not fully recovered from purifying the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit, and now he had to face such a troublesome herb.
If not for the advancement in his cultivation and spiritual will, he would have failed with just this one herb.
Fortunately, his cultivation and spiritual will had advanced. Even though it was slightly difficult, he should be able to concoct the Facial Restoration Pill within two hours.
At this point, Mo Wuji did not have the mood to care about other people's pill concoction. He hurriedly cleaned the pill furnace, and started purifying the Golden Rockvine.
His cultivation and spiritual will had advanced, and Mo Wuji decided that if he was unable to purify the Golden Rockvine in the shortest time possible, he would resort to hand frying. No matter what, he had to concoct the Facial Restoration Pill. If he could not even concoct the pill in the third round, no matter how good his results were in the first two rounds, he would still be eliminated.
Under the influence of Mo Wuji's elemental energy, the temperature of the red firestone quickly filled the pill furnace. Mo Wuji reached his hand into the pill furnace. He did not fry the herb, but used the pill technique hidden within his hand seals to purify the Golden Rockvine. The reason why he placed his hand into the pill furnace was because he was afraid that someone would find out about his pill technique.
What Mo Wuji did not expect was that he was able to easily control the Golden Rockvine with his pill technique, and the Golden Rockvine melted and disintegrated under his will.
An intense joy surged in his heart; he did not even need to use his hands to fry the herb. Mo Wuji did not expect that there would be such a huge difference in his cultivation level, but in his spiritual will.
No, that's not right. Mo Wuji soon realised that the huge difference was not due to the advancement in his cultivation level, but due to the advancement in his spiritual will. With his strong spiritual will, even with the fire of the red firestone, he could easily control the Golden Rockvine.
Spiritual will was indeed a good thing.
In less than half an incense's time, Mo Wuji had rapidly purified the Golden Rockvine. The rest of the spiritual herbs were sent into the pill furnace by Mo Wuji, and with the help of his strong spiritual will, the spiritual herbs in the pill furnace were purified at a rapid pace.
After an incense's time, Mo Wuji patted the pill furnace, and a pile of dregs was sent out.
After the purification of the spiritual herbs, the subsequent steps of fusing the medicinal essences, separating the pills, and condensing the pills were even easier for Mo Wuji.
An hour passed, and Mo Wuji had already started to collect the pills. This time, he did not continue to use the pill retaining technique, but used his hand seals to collect the pills.
12 light green pills were kept by Mo Wuji, and landed in a jade vase by the side.
Mo Wuji extinguished the fire in the pill furnace, and turned to look at the rest of the people around him. This time, he was the first to finish, and not the last. There were less than 10 pill refiners like him, and most of them were still refining the pills.
There were incessant sounds of the medicinal essences being burnt, and sounds of failed pill condensation could be heard. However, these had nothing to do with Mo Wuji, as he believed that the points from these three rounds would at least allow him to obtain a ranking. As for the ranking, he did not really care about it.
The first person Mo Wuji paid attention to was Yan Qianyin. After all, he was most familiar with Yan Qianyin. At this moment, Yan Qianyin was not in a good state, and her expression was solemn.
"Peng!" An explosion sounded, and Mo Wuji, who was not far from Yan Qianyin, could clearly feel it.
Yan Qianyin had failed. Mo Wuji sighed, and saw Yan Qianyin's disappointed expression. Mo Wuji still had some doubts in his heart. According to his understanding of Yan Qianyin's Pill Dao, even if she used red firestones to concoct Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, Yan Qianyin should not have failed. Unless she chose a pill that was extremely difficult to concoct.
As if sensing Mo Wuji's gaze, Yan Qianyin also looked over. Mo Wuji gestured to her, indicating that she did not need to worry. As long as he could obtain an extra ranking, he would give it to her.
Yan Qianyin nodded, and started to clean up the pill furnace that she had failed to concoct.
Mo Wuji saw Zhang Ding again. At this moment, Zhang Ding had already finished concocting the pills, and was standing calmly in front of the pill furnace. It seemed like the pills he concocted were not bad.
